Tuleap is an open source platform for project management and collaborative software development. It provides a range of tools for coding, project management, version control, communication, testing, and reporting. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Tuleap on Linux Mint.
Before installing Tuleap, we need to install some required packages. Open the Terminal and type the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl php php-pear php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-intl libicu-dev libicu-dev gettext ruby ruby-dev tar unzip
This will install all the necessary packages that are required to install Tuleap.
Tuleap is built on top of the Symfony PHP framework and it requires Composer to manage its dependencies. Composer is a package manager for PHP that allows you to download and manage packages easily.
To install Composer, run the following command in Terminal:
sudo apt install -y composer
You can verify the installation by typing the command:
composer -v
This should return the version of Composer installed on your system.
Download the latest Tuleap release from their official website https://www.tuleap.org/en/download/ and extract the contents to the /opt directory:
sudo mkdir /opt/tuleap
sudo tar xzf tuleap-<version>.tar.gz -C /opt/tuleap --strip-components=1
Make sure to replace <version> with the version number you have downloaded.
Tuleap requires some additional setup before it can be run. To install Tuleap, navigate to the /opt/tuleap directory:
cd /opt/tuleap
sudo ./install.sh
This will start the installation process. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
Tuleap uses port 443 (https) to communicate with the outside world. If you have a firewall running, make sure to allow incoming connections to this port.
sudo ufw allow https
Once the installation is done, go to your web browser and enter the URL to access Tuleap's Web Installer as https://localhost/install/
This will start the Tuleap wizard, which will help you set up your Tuleap instance.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tuleap on your Linux Mint machine. You can now use Tuleap to manage your projects, collaborate with your team and track development progress.
